I packed my bags and headed straight to the nearest town,
My fate was held by merely my swift feet and the ground.
I knew I had to get away and now was my only chance
I walked down the path not looking back, not a single glance.
My mind raced with thoughts of what you'd do when you found out
I knew that you'd be angry, I knew that without a doubt.
But still I kept on walking,
Straight to that little town.
I didn't dare begin to think about turning around.
I arrived there faster that I thought, and what joy did fill my heart
I was that much closer to my dream, a dream of a brand new start.
I scurried to the station and held firmly to my pass
I thought about all those times, the times that were now my past
I would no longer have to hear the anger in your voice
No longer have to face the days where I didn't have a choice
I wouldn't have to hide behind sun glasses and long sleeves
And I wouldn't have to hurt inside while crying on my knees
And then I saw my future, so bright and full of life
I saw happiness and joy, no more bitterness or strife.
I grabbed my bags beside me and boarded my escape
Who knew a train could help you leave a very scary fate.
